Graduation Card #2

I wanted to share one more graduation card that I made. This one was for a very dear high school friend's son who just happened to graduate from our Alma Mater. 

Thankfully, I had some leftover Blackberry Bliss Cardstock, but my biggest score here was finding the Rockridge Rockets designer paper that I bought many, many moons ago (like 15 😮!) I knew I kept it around for a reason! 😉

 I cut the numbers out of gold glitter paper using the Large Number Framelits. I made the tassel out of old Blackberry Bliss thick baker's twine and white embossing floss. I adhered the tassel using one of our White Perfect Accents popped up with a Stampin' Dimensional. 

I finished the card with the sentiment from the B.Y.O.P. stamp set.

To all graduates near & far...CONGRATULATIONS on your achievement! May life be everything you hoped for and more! 

Tomorrow's a BIG day for those of us who work for Stampin' Up! Our new catalog is being released to the public which means you all have the opportunity to see and buy new products!!! WOOHOO!

If you're already my customer and need a catty, please see me. If you're not, but would like to order, I would love to meet you and get a new catty to you. 

Happy Stamping!

Dragonfly Dreams Swap Cards

Dragonfly Dreams is a really popular bundle in the Occasions Catalog. It was no surprise that several team members in the Stray Ducklings used it for their swaps (yours truly included. You can see mine here.)

This card was made by Josie Wicklund of Byron, IL 

I love the glitter paper for the dragonflies. It doesn't hurt that she used Perfect Plum cardstock for the card either (purple just happens to be my favorite color!)

I just love how this card turned out! It's so pretty!

Our next card was made by Sheryl Diemer. This dragonfly just sparkles in person. It's beautiful. The picture does not do it justice. 

You can view Sheryl's blog here.

And this card was made by Cecilia Grindinger. Look at the cool water-coloring she did behind her dragonflies! Such a fun and versatile set.

I hope you've enjoyed today's card swap. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask. 

Happy Stamping!
